Eco Chic

With a desire to combine a costal and cottage feel, the eco-chic design is just part of the many elements I use in my designs. Sea grass carpets, cat tails, pussy willows, wood remnants made into furniture, bamboo flooring and other goods purchased in the local community are considered eco-chic elements of design. I often use old frames, doors, and wood remnants and transform them into useful pieces of my design. Coffee sacks from the local store are great for upholstery, while using fresh fruit from the farmers market for display or a splash of color. Eco-chic signifies the meaning of reduce, reuse, recycle.
